I’m not sure I can even put it all into words. The easy thing to identify was realizing how unhappy I was with my job — but I had to create / force the creation of a new path to get to my new role. And really honing in on my primary career goal, which is to have a seat at the table so that I can shape change.
Outside of my career, it has been truly sobering how far away I’ve let myself get from what my health and happiness used to be; I have a long way to go (and a whole lot more therapy needed) to find my way back.
